Equipping the Saints


The purpose of our Institute is to offer rich biblical training to a broad audience in an easily-accessible format. Classes at the Institute will eventually develop into 2- to 3-year certificate tracks designed to equip people for ministry. We believe this Institute will play a key role in fulfilling our church’s mission to make disciples and train ministry leaders both locally and throughout Alaska.
